Woodland records first PGA Tour win
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 22 - 03 - 2011

TAMPA, Florida: American Gary Woodland saved par with a 10-foot putt on the last hole to claim his first US PGA Tour title with a one-shot victory Sunday at the Transitions Championship over compatriot Webb Simpson.
An in-form Woodland used an uncanny touch with his putter to post a four-under-par 67 for a 15-under-par total of 269 on the Copperhead course at Innisbrook.
Woodland, who earlier this year lost a playoff at the Bob Hope Classic, tied for fifth at Phoenix and tied for sixth at the Honda Classic, made all 17 putts he had from within 20 feet during the pressure-packed final round.
A tightly-packed leaderboard gave way to a late duel between Woodland, 26, and the 25-year-old Simpson, who was tied for the lead as he played the 18th.
American Scott Stallings was third on 272 after shooting 70, with compatriot Brandt Snedeker (70) another stroke away.
Third-round leader Justin Rose of Britain, who floundered with four bogeys in a row from the seventh, shot 74 and was in a group of six on 274 that also included compatriot Martin Laird (70) and Brendon de Jonge of Zimbabwe (73).
Webb wins Founders Cup
Karrie Webb rallied to win the LPGA Founders Cup in Phoenix Sunday for her second straight victory, shooting a 6-under 66 to beat Brittany Lincicome and Paula Creamer by a stroke.
Lincicome had a chance to pull even with Webb on the final hole, but missed a 10-foot par putt.
The 36-year-old Webb, who finished at 12-under 204, earned $200,000 for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and the Japan earthquake relief efforts in the charity event at Wildfire Golf Club. After opening with a 71, Webb shot a 67 on Saturday, leaving her six strokes behind second-round leader Angela Stanford.
Jacquelin wins Sicilian Open
Frenchman Raphael Jacquelin won the weather-delayed Siclian Open Monday clinching a one-stroke victory over Anthony Wall of England thanks to a closing round of 68.
It was the 36-year-old's third EPGA title and it came four years after his last victory.
Jacquelin and Wall, whose last title win came in 2000, resumed with six holes to play after thunderstorms had brought an abrupt end to play Sunday evening.
The Englishman, who trailed by one shot overnight, twice drew level, but a double-bogey six at the 421-yard 17th proved to be fatal to his title chances.
Wall came back with a closing birdie, but Jacquelin's par made him the champion with a three-under-par 68 and a 12-under aggregate of 272. Spaniard Jose Manuel Lara finished in a tie for third place with Swede Joel Sjoholm after a double bogey at the last, but they were five shots off the pace.
